Promoting Kickapoo heritage for kids in Mexico
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesSupport the recovery and diffusion of the Kickapoo heritage, a nor-central algokian group of southern Canada and northern U.S. who migrated south over the centuries. For historical reasons, some of them arrived to Bacerac,Sonora, Mexico a hundred years ago. The Sonoran Kickapoo people try to recover those cultural elements that the time and the distance to the mother land are vanishing away. Didactic materials will help them. “We have to remember always” said their cheif, Ramon Barbachan. ActivitiesNow we’re sponsoring an artistic stimulation workshop for Kickapoo children. Their drawings will be use for design a lottery and a memory game that will reflect important elements of their culture, people and things of nature and common life.

Latest Update from the FieldGood news fron TamichopaBy Maria Inmaculada Puente Andres - manager, September 01, 2009 10:52 AM
   We are very excited to keep working in collaboration with the Kikapú people of Tamichopa, Sonora, México for the recovery of their historical memories.
As part of the project, several workshops have taken place in the new Community Center. In July, the women of the community received technical training along with organizational talks. Dolls were elaborated with variations from the original costume, activity that contributed, among other things, to the development of their creativity. It also prepared them for the next step: the confection of the typical costume for themselves and for their families, topic of the training program of September. Liliana, a young kikapoo woman, proudly presented it to the women. During summer vacations, we also gave the young people the chance of having a digital photography and computer workshop. We will present the results in the exhibit “Nosotros, los Kikapús en Sonora” (“We, the Kikapoo people in Sonora”), in the state photographic festival “Fotoseptiembre” in Hermosillo, capital city of the state of Sonora. Next fall, we have planned a workshop of traditional drums with the men of the community. For the children, we are hopefully awaiting the support of our Global Giving friends to print the didactic material that will allow them to “learn playing” about their cultural inheritance; it would be wonderful to be able to give them that gift. We hope to hear from you soon!
